Lack of Skilled Workers Still a Major Bottleneck for New Construction

A lack of skilled workers in the masonry industry and construction in general continues to make it difficult or impossible for contractors to keep up with building demand.  Ironically, according to this article from the Associated General Contractors of America, hiring has actually slowed recently.  The question is, has hiring slowed because demand is falling off, is this just a temporary dip in hiring, or are there simply no more people available to hire?  Read the article to learn more.

Mortar Net Solutions products help combat the labor shortage because they are designed to be installed quickly and easily, so they help reduce masonry contractors’ labor time, can frequently be installed by lower skilled workers, and let contractors get more done with fewer people.
